Queens teacher threatened after students learn she attended pro-Israel rally

JAMAICA, Queens (WABC) — Police are investigating the chaos at a Queens high school that was sparked by the discovery that a teacher attended a pro-Israel rally.

Investigators are looking into a video posted on TikTok. Police say the 45-year-old teacher works at Hillcrest High School in Jamaica.

Officers went to the school on Monday after she reported a social media threat from an unknown person.

Mayor Eric Adams called the harassment a vile show of anti-Semitism and ignorance-fueled hatred that won’t be tolerated in school or anywhere else.
